With a career spanning back to the 1990s, when she fronted indie rock band theaudience, Sophie Ellis-Bextor has conquered the charts on more than one occasion. Her smash hits Groovejet and Murder on the Dancefloor brought her fame in the world of dance music, and a more recent apparition on BBC1’s Strictly Come Dancing brought her further into the public eye. Her dance-driven disco has given way to a new era in her music, with her fifth studio album Wanderlust being drastically different from anything she has done before.

With singles Young Blood and the upcoming Runaway Daydreamer, released March 31st, Sophie Ellis-Bextor has already conquered the charts, as well as the hearts of fans old and new.
